Every Moving Part Fitted to a Hair's Breadth Buick Goes Any where Any Other Car Goes “I drove a Buick 32,000 miles, and was never detained on the road a minute for anything but tire trouble. Last - year I bought another Buick and have driven 11,000 miles without even taking out a spark plug or touching a wrench to the motor. I am an engine builder myself, and know good machinery when I see it. I am sure that no other car for the same amount of money will give as good results, and I know that there are many cars that cost twice as much that will not give any better service. The Buick can go any- where any other car can, and where a good many other cars can’t.”—Uri Tracy, Frick Company, Rochester, N. Y. The Famous Buick Overhead Valve Motor is guaranteed to have more power and speed than any other type of motor on the market. It will pull stronger on low grade _ gasoline than any other type of motor ever built, and the fuel consumption is less. ASK FOR A RIDE IN THE “31” $1285 F.0.B.
